Best case, you get what Embarcadero once did.  They inherited the
former Borland DOS products like Turbo-C, and were offering them as
unsupported freeware downloads from a community link on their site.
There was no *paying* market for the DOS stuff, but making it
available was a nice gesture and good publicity for the Windows based
stuff they could *sell*.

This was actually done by Borland, long before the stand-alone tools division (CodeGear) was created, let alone sold to Embarcadero.
